No bfring. Who wins?

Does he have the Power Gem? If no, Lord Mar-vell takes it.

Lord Mar-vell wins.

Cogito
Maybe someone can enlighten me, because it's possible I haven't read all the issues where Lord Mar-vell has appeared.

Other than destroying Surfer's board (which Surfer easily repaired), and beating Nova Prime, what did he do that's impressive?

Cogito
A Magus whose only feat was fighting Nova.

So the only basis of comparison essentially involves only low-mid heralds.

K. Surfer's a low mid herald ? I guess Magus working the gotg and faking out a cc user while at the same time altering the fault lines with his power and further weakening himself right before all this is totally mid herald. Weird.

Well, easily defeating two high heralds is impressive enough, especially if one of them is the Silver Surfer.

But he almost killed the entire Annihilators lineup when he exited with a Cthulhu like energy spell. Quasar had to take the collective energy of all the Annihilators + company in order to shield them from the blast.

Honestly I'm just trying to get my facts straight. I don't think I've read everything involved here.

And no, obviously I don't consider Surfer to be low-mid herald. His fight with Mar-vell lasted only a panel and involved his board getting broken and then Mar-vell moving on to fight Nova. I don't think we can extrapolate much at all from that.

As for Magus, the only combat feat I know of was his fighting with Nova - who isn't a top tier.

Just trying to separate facts from assumptions.

Just trying to separate facts from assumptions. Then you need to reacquaint yourself because going by portrayal he was well beyond the Surfer.

I'm not disputing the possibility.

But I'm also not convinced he's legit based on a fight that lasted a single page and didn't end. Honestly, that would be like drawing conclusions to Superman vs. Doomsday in DOS after this.

We didn't see a real fight between Mar-vell and a high herald, is my point. Oftentimes a hero gets pushed around before he comes out guns blazing.

Drawing conclusions from the very first interaction between Lord Mar-vell and Surfer (in which Surfer's board is destroyed) is akin to drawing conclusions from the very first interaction between Superman and Doomsday (where it looked like Doomsday punched like a girl).

If the had more time, or if Surfer were actually one shot, that would be a different story.

We don't know what level Lord Mar-vell is at because he wasn't ever challenged, and he never had a legitimate fight with any top tier.

Christ...

He was challenged by Thanos because someone had to be. Mar-vell was the one who performed the original necropsy, and it was fitting (or necessary?) for him to be the one to bring Death back.

I realize that the Magus kill was an impressive feat. I'm not about to declare him skyfather+ for it though.

It was a flash showing, but I think the writers got their point across. Mar-vell was clearly meant to be above the team and a threat that only Thanos could put down or whatever.

Cogito
I'm trying to find his floor & ceiling.

His floor is obviously at or slightly above Surfer.

His ceiling is somewhere between Surfer and Thanos, and I'm inclined to believe it's closer to Surfer.

I tend to agree. Obviously he wasn't on Thanos' level, somewhere above Surfer seems about right. And its worth mentioning what he did to Nova. Shields smashed with a punch, mind probed with utter ease, Worldmind phased out. Not even the Sphinx was ever capable of that, and he's tried a few times. Although Nova wasn't at full power until issue 6, so there is that to consider.

You can place him wherever you want but above Thor or any elite top tier is consistent with his portrayal. Thanos is so far up the chain him just straight owning Mar-vell rams the point home.

Marvel is low trans. Teh way he treats high heralds is proof. But low trans because Thanos put a thrashing on him (great fight but you knew who was clearly superior) and I would place Thanos right below skyfather level.

Quanchi has a history of lying to make Thanos appear to be stronger than he truly is...

And his only reason for wanting to trump up Lord Marvell is because Thanos beat him...

Anyway, to get back on topic, I think Blood and Thunder Thor (who was performing above average everyday Thor by a significant margin) gets a majority against Marvell...

Perhaps 7 out of 10 in favor of BT Thor...

I see where Quan is getting the unintentional thing. Mar-vell said "A universe where things can still die. That will take some time getting used to."

It's a vague statement. It could imply that he forgot that his attack would kill (rather than inflict pain, which may have been his intention), or it could just be something he said after intentionally killing him. Either way, we'll never know.

Even if Marvell didn't intend to kill, why would that indicate he's holding back. If he was under the impression Magus couldn't die, he could blast him with all his might and yet not kill him.

@quan,

But just before the blast he asks; "so death still lives here?" Magus says yes but... Then gets blasted. The killing was intentional.

I agree with this statement thumb up, I was thinking low trans at best, as where BT Thor w/ gem was like mid trans level before Thanos stop him.

Agreed. That's peeps kinda lowballing right there. Hell the fact that the Magus would even prostrate himself before Mar-vell should tell you something.

Huh?

A generalized powerset feat I guess? A cube is a top flight reality manipulating device/being, so someone able to fool its reach of power would have to be pretty damn powerful as well I suppose.

Blood and Thunder Thor (Minus the Power Gem) and Lord Mar-Vell are on the same level of power I'd say. From what I remember, Lord Mar-Vell would annihilate a Herald (Based on the Magus showing because the Surfer/Nova fight was a bit underwhelming imo) but would get edged out by Thanos. By the time Thor picked up the Infinity Gem, I'd say no one short of Thanos had a chance of stopping him.

I know this isn't a popular idea (Mostly because it makes Surfer look like utter shit) but I've never considered Thanos to have a large edge in power over Thor and such. An all out or high end Superman/Thor taking down Thanos is a very real possibility.

simply put: he shouldn't rage kill in 616 anymore

An all out or high end Superman/Thor taking down Thanos is a very real possibility. Based on absolutely nothing and even Thor at his highest showing ever with the aid of a power gem only caused a nosebleed from Thanos despite the power gem making him unable to be put down physically. That absolutely kills your case because his absolute greatest showing he fell short of even seriously harming Thanos.

Thor just recently was unable to even seriously hurt the Surfer and Odin didn't even oneshot him so downplaying Mar-vell when he didn't even treat the Surfer as a true threat while Thor who was out for blood and yet failed to even really hurt the Surfer destroys your case.

Surfer and Thor are peers Thanos looks down at them just as Mar-vell does. Superman is in the same league as Surfer and Thor not these two mighty mammoths.

Rage.Of.Olympus
Told you. Classic Quan.

A few clarifications, even I can't ignore everything:

- Blood and Thunder wasn't Thor's highest showing, he just operated more consistently at a level of power he's displayed before. He's operated above even Herald wrecking power. Nothing new.

- Thor vs. Surfer has -hopefully- not yet concluded and Thor is weakened. I guess Drax vs. Thanos counts.

- Odin never even struck Surfer. He grabbed him by his neck and tossed him.

- For the last time, the Power Gem (At that point at least) doesn't mean you can't be knocked out. Thor did it to Drax in that same arc.

Stoic
Assuming that B&T Thor wasn't actualy in control of the Power Gem during most of his fight with Thanos, I would say that he has a good chance of winning this fight. Thanos seemed to have a far easier time restraining Mar-Vell, than he did with Thor.

dmills
Here are my thoughts on Lord Mar-vell. It's very tricky placing a guy like him based on a few quick showings. However, going by averages, not even an elite top tier is doing what he did to Magus, Nova and Norrin. Not a chance. But the flip side to that is that Nova and crew (as Norrin alluded to after the fight) had no clue what they were getting into with him and it could be argued that the Magus got caught off guard (weak sauce argument yes, but still plausible).

Sticking to Nova and Surfer for a second, neither were shown at their best. Surfer basically just flew in and grabbed Mar-vell, and Richard, as we saw in issue 6, has another gear that he can go to altogether. So one has to wonder how a rematch between the three would play out.

Conjecture aside though, dude is above heralds.

You gotta agree easily overpowering the Worldminds mental defences was impressive and destroying Thanos ship with a simple twitch of his fingers is pretty good aswell.

Give some examples, that rival dominating the Surfer and warlock or Ares and Pluto to make me feel otherwise.

Thor isn't fighting with it slowing him down nor is he using it as an excuse he's a peer to the Surfer and always has been outside of blood and thunder. Try to actually be objective for once.

That's attacking the Surfer whereas Mar-vell really didn't lay into him either just his board which was completely destroyed.

No doubt. He did things with ease that most heralds would work have to work very hard for. In a nutshell that's why I say he's above them.

There are at least a few such instances such as when he's fought Surtur, Odin, Glory or what have you. He was operating on a higher end level more consistently but that wasn't his peak.

"He possesses more strength than I could ever know."

Thor isn't being slowed down because he's extremely tough. That doesn't take away from his condition. He's still gravely wounded, I'm guessing Loki will have to save his life because he'll be on death's door soon. Thanos vs. Drax is valid I guess.

Are you comparing a blast to a toss?

Strength doesn't have to be taken literally and we see Thor can't best him with his strength anyways so I laugh at thee.

Do you think Thor without this injury can dominate the Surfer ? Thanos was beaten by Drax while weakened and via plot device outside Drax's own powers which negate Thanos'. Context. Thor also ha dbattle armor on which obviously helps him against the Surfer.

Did the blast hit the Surfer ? Did Odin toss Surfer or his board ? If someone destroys my surfboard does it hurt me more or less than if someone physically tosses me ? This is soooooooo easy.

Thor has also contained a blast that would have destroyed an entire universe, so while Mar-Vells feats were impressive, some people should remember some of Thor's as well.

@ Quanchi, tell me what book it was that Thor used the Power Gem in because i don't recall it ever stating that he was in full control of the gem. Furthermore, Thor could not have even known how to use the PG when he couldn't spell his own name, and resembled a rabid animal. As far as anyone can tell as I mentioned several times, Thanos may have been battling a Thor that simply had no inhibitions to killing.

Thanos was given new abilities, it was never shown that he was leaps and bounds above what he was shown to be in the mid to late 90s. If so could you tell me what book it was that stated his enormous increase of power, and not that he was given new abilities, such as being barred from death, and that his touch can kill the undead?

Saying that he was exponentially more powerful than ever in my opinion is false. That would mean that because Lobo can not die that he is somehow more powerful, or because Drax has the power to kill Thanos, that he is more than he really is.

Thor has more impressive feats he'd been in over a thousand comics compared to Marvell's what 7. Thor used the power gem on panel showing he did know exactly what to do with the power gem. saying he acted like a rabid animal is completely untrue when reading the arc. He simply was impulsive and without restraint and wanted to kill everyone in his path to Odin. You really didn't even read the arc as your points are explicitly shown to be false.

So Thanos was always immune to death ? laughing out loud You didn't even read this comic either. You say just random things hoping someone will believe you. Thanos' power changed unless you think being immune to death and being able to cause death to unkillables in a universe where death has been destroyed.

Thanos mopped the floor with someone well above elite top tier. When else has Thanos ever done so prior to ? If you need time to actually look at these comics take all the time you need.

dmills
With Drax, I'm going to try and find it, but it was stated that basically his power was to figure out how to destroy any threat or some such. But the heart rip out he did to Thanos he also did to Magus. It just didn't work because the Magus had no heart or some crap.

Quan, why are you lying to me about Thor? There's no point.

If you didn't bother reading the comics, then ask for scans or simply drop it. You're wrong on all three accounts. If you really want me to, I'll post scans.

Context? Drax killed Thanos with an Anti-Matter grenade. Anyways, I guess Thanos vs. Drax is valid just like Surfer vs. a severely injured Thor is valid.

Why do you say things that you can't support? It's not an occasional thing but like the norm with you. The battle armor provided protection from space and flight capabilities. That's all. I do find it hilarious though that a Thanos fan is using technology to downplay a character.

That doesn't indicate inferiority.

I'm not debating this matter further. You want to continue, I'll battle zone you.

He simply was impulsive and without restraint and wanted to kill everyone in his path to Odin. You really didn't even read the arc as your points are explicitly shown to be false.

So Thanos was always immune to death ? laughing out loud You didn't even read this comic either. You say just random things hoping someone will believe you. Thanos' power changed unless you think being immune to death and being able to cause death to unkillables in a universe where death has been destroyed.

Thanos mopped the floor with someone well above elite top tier. When else has Thanos ever done so prior to ? If you need time to actually look at these comics take all the time you need.


Issue numbers helps, pointing fingers to make yourself feel somehow superior doesn't.

My point if you decide to take your head out of the dirt, was how did the new abilities that Thanos was given equate to him receiving an amplification in terms of physical power, and damage yield? Prove it, and if you can't don't say or try to mislead others.

You were and may still be under the impression that IT Thanos would be able to defeat Odin, or Galactus, and yet there is nothing to support such a wild assumption.

This of course is about Thor vs Mar-Vell, and as I stated earlier, The Power Gem must be learned of its uses, which has been written time and time again. Thanos lovers just want to believe that Thanos was able to take a beating from a PG wielder, and that would have been true, if he were able to slug it out sans shields with the champion, and we all saw that he wasn't.

But Thor was tapping the Power Gem, it said so on panel. So Thanos was taking a beating from a Power Gem user (an enraged one at that).

How much was Thor drawing from the Gem though? When did Thor begin tap into it? Was Thor tapping the Gem before or after being placed in a force block? Details are what I'm getting at.

Oh WAAAAY before the power block incident. Remember the Moondragon mind rape attempt? And the Dr. Strange/Warlock tag team fiasco? He was tapping the Gem and it was mentioned on panel.

Hey I read the fight that Thor had with Thanos, I may have forgotten the finer details, but didn't it say that Thor's power was increasing after Thanos placed him in a force block?

this comes down to who is more powerful as well.

Is Odin more powerful than Galactus, who is less powerful than a Gem wielder, that knows how to use it? Odin broke out of Thanos' block of force easily, while Thor was rendered nearly helpless. So how much could he have been tapping of the PG? You see my point?

I'm not debating this matter further. You want to continue, I'll battle zone you. I'm not asking for scans I wanted examples and the ones you gave me don't add up. Thor has never been a threat to Odin or Surtur just like Loki hasn't been either despite Simon's battle between the two iirc.

Strength isn't always the physical kind and Thor's a much grittier warrior than the Surfer ever has been so on that level it makes sense.

Thor is more powerful than the Surfer but not more formidable. I would also rather have the pc as opposed to Thor's abilities in a heartbeat.

An anti matter grenade isn't his power it's a plot device just like no one is going to use Iron Man's satellite beam depowering Wb Hulk as something he can do on his own outside that plot device in that story. Do you even understand my points or do you just want to repeat yourself which is something you're known for.

Thanos has always used tech Thor doesn't. Thor needing a battle suit to aid him against Galactus and the Surfer is completely outside his standard gear. Do you understand ? Is Thor's belt of strength considered standard gear ?

So you won't answer the question and concede as usual. Mar-vell is simply more than the Surfer unlike Thor. I agree Odin and mar-vell are both superior to Thor and the Surfer it's obvious. Thor was also put down momentarily by Bill in his own arc showing he isn't beyond elite top tier.

I just did another battlezone not too long ago which makes 3. I don't have the time or the energy to battlezone you newcomers to it just because you don't have the stomach to carry it over here.

Give me an example of him easily dominating an above elite top tier character in the same vein as Mar-vell. Acting like he's always been immune to death and still claiming he received no new powers is lying.

Thor used the gem to actively repel attacks in the issue prior to Thanos. Read the issue I hate arguing with someone who simply doesn't know any better. You keep repeating yourself while others have even stated he actively used it. Come on, stoic.

Yes they do. Making baseless claims doesn't mean they don't count. Claiming Thor was never a threat and couldn't hurt Odin/Surtur is a blatant lie. Thor also never prayed while fighting Glory -he couldn't- and took him on solo. For the record, Glory was compared to Zeus taking all of the Olympians and becoming one in regards to power.

If you attempt to ignore Thor being injured, I'll ignore Thanos being weakened. Which makes the showing valid for Thanos vs. threads. Stay consistent.

So what? That doesn't detract from the irony.

I understand that it's not standard gear but you claimed it obviously helped him against Surfer. I want to know why you'd even make such a claim as the only think those suits do is provide flight and protection from space which is something Thor showed to posses by his lonesome.

Don't make baseless claims.

Mar-Vell isn't superior to Thor. At least not this Thor.

Skill and sufficient power could put Thor down. At least at that point but by the time he was wrecking the Infinity Watch, no one short of Thanos had a chance to put him down straight up. No, not even Bill. Herald level attacks just seemed to be annoyances at that point.

Hyperbole aside Glory was all lip service. Glory can't beat Zeus nor has he. You have to put up or shut up I tire of your exaggerations.

What does it matter anyways since Thor's strength didn't put the Surfer down despite him really going balls to the walls against the Surfer who tried reasoning with him.

Ok, so you agree Surfer is more formidable. We are finally getting somewhere.

Thor had a battle suit on while Thanos was defeated via plot device similar to Iron Man's satellites outside Drax's own power.


So if you admit it aided Thor's flight in space you admit it aids Thor. According to this writer Thor needs it to battle the Surfer in space. I am glad you are agreeing with me. I'm proud of you.

How isn't he superior to a Thor who was down and acting crazy to Beta Ray Bill. Give me anything to suggest BrB can do the same to Mar-vell.

Thor had the power gem against the watch hence the reason he was winning but he doesn't have the power gem here. Context.

When you abandon this thread you concede. I don't start screaming battlezone in threads demanding they cease arguing. Put up or remain silent.

There's not even any indication the armor made him faster than before. At best it let Thor exert less energy in some venues as flying -not that it was tiring before- but it's no comparison to Thor's injury.

Why would he be? Mar-Vell can wreck Heralds but so could Thor. That's the best point you've made so far but unfortunately I think Thor had reached a point where Herald level attacks were simply incapable of putting him down after he got up.

For the record, we never saw Mar-Vell's durability tested. He got knocked down by Thanos but doesn't tell us much except he's not as tough as Thanos.

And watching you squirm as I systematically destroy you would be interesting.

Glory doesn't have the showings to prove anything other than a villain whose sole purpose is to lose to Thor. That's it.

Thor's strength can't beat the Surfer so it's irrelevant to Mar-vell especially if it hasn't shown the ability to down the new surfer.

So you just flip flopped. You said no argument there and now want to take it back.

You admit it aided Thor so you agree. It balances everything else out and the fact Surfer was trying to reason with Thor most of the time.

Thor can also be beaten by heralds unlike Mar-vell. That's the entire point. Mar-vell was never tested by anyone save Thanos because everyone else he went up against was nothing to him unlike Thor who got drummed by BrB.


The other fight wasn't impressive.

I told you I don't have the time nor the desire to battlezone every petty disagreement here and there. Just don't respond so you can begin the healing process.
